It also serves the city of Waterford, and at Limerick Junction it connects with the Dublin–Cork railway line.

Rosslare (Europort and Strand) and Wexford have still at least three trains a day to Dublin, and three back (morning, afternoon and evening).

The line between Rosslare and Waterford has been closed to passenger trains since September 2010,[2] though it is still maintained by Iarnród Éireann.

[3] Plans for reopening the Waterford to Rosslare section were confirmed after inclusion in the All Island Strategic Rail Review and the revised Trans-European Transport Network in 2024.

[10] A notable feature on the line is the Cahir Viaduct across the River Suir in County Tipperary.

Following the 2003 incident, Iarnród Éireann renewed the viaduct at a cost of €2.6 million and the line reopened in September 2004.

On 12 March 2010 it was announced that Iarnród Éireann would review the service between Waterford and Rosslare Europort because few passengers were using it.

The exception was during the volcanic ash crisis of 2010, when trains were fully loaded and had standing room only.

[21] In 2021, it was confirmed that the route would be examined for reopening as part of an All-Island Strategic Rail Review.
